The Proof of the pudding - a photo on Flickriver

            is in the eating. This is for my Brisbane flickr friend Christy as proof of success. Christy takes excellent shots of dragonflies, whereas they frustratingly elude me for one reason or another and I think she was therefore reluctant to believe my success! Oh ye of little faith! 

We were out with eagle eyed May ( luckily or it could have been another fail for me) hunting Bruce the Brolga who had been spotting wandering streets and homes at Griffin, north of Brisbane. Finding Bruce in a sprawling suburb was always going to be like finding a needle in a haystack, but we did come across a park and also a large cattle run or perhaps dairy farm surrounded by bushland with quite a few dragonflies buzzing about. May spotted this one atop a bushy weed, in fact, it stayed there that long despite my usual unlucky presence so long, I thought it must have passed away. 

It is a rather brutish one with a thick upper body and a not so long distinctive tail. But, capture it I did, all by myself!! As for its scientific name, who knows. And it did eventually fly away.
